What better place to throw a party than the palatial Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton Gardens? Last August, Now or Never, the brand-new festival of art, music, technology and ideas transformed the building into one heck of a soiree spot.
Last year’s Now or Never line-up included club nights, arty talks and a 1.2-kilometre larger-than-life art trail in Docklands. Big names both local and international were involved in the festival, including German house and techno producer Âme, plus CC:Disco! and the folks behind internationally acclaimed design festival Semi Permanent.
Now, news has just broken that this hot new festival is returning to warm up the city for another year. Now or Never will be back from August 22-31 this year with a fresh new theme. In a quest to unlock the doors of our imaginations, the festival will have a theme of ‘Look Through the Image’. Festival organisers have hinted at a “dispersed festival footprint” this time around.
As for the program, that’s all we know for now. We’ll keep you posted when more details are released in late May. Learn more about Now or Never at the festival website.
